1 Claim.

The present invention has for an object a method for a means of forming a package for cones containing filaments.

More specifically the present invention concerns 5 a. method for and means of packing cones containing filaments of the type of artificial threads. One object of the present invention is to provide an individual wrapper for filaments on cones which is simple in construction, simple in operation, and efiicient in preventing damage to the packaged cones during transmission.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and novel method of packing cones so that they may be safely transported without l undue damage.

Other objects will become apparent after a reading of the following specification and a study of the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the cone wrapper; and

:0 Figure 2 is an elevational view of a cone wrapped in the new wrapper.

The wrapper for each individual cone consists of a piece oicard-board l which is preferably corrugated as at 2 in order that it may have more 55 strength. This piece of card-board is cut in a form so that concave and convex sides are practically parallel one to the other. The convex side is shown by 3 and the concave side by 4 in the accompanying drawing. The cone 5 is wrapped with m the wrapper I so that the concave portion thereof, 4, is at the top or narrower portion of the cone.

In wrapping the cones, the corrugated cardboard is laid fiat upon a wrapping table with the corrugated portion upward. The cone is then placed on the paper and then both ends are overlapped and secured together with a sticker as at 5 '8. In this way the corrugated portion of the wrapper isplaced directly against the cone. Before being wrapped the cone is usually provided with a first'wrapping of paper which is practically transparent.

The wrapper I usually contains indicia denoting the size, quality, etc., of the filaments on the cones.

Having now set forth my invention as required by the patent statutes, what I desire to claim is:

A package of raw material for use in the manufacture of fabrics, comprising, in combination, a sustaining or supporting core, a length of filaments of artificial origin wound upon said core, the surface of the said body of yarn presenting a layer oi surface strands, a thin wrapper around said filament or yarn body,.said wrapper exerting sufflcient tension against said body to prevent displacement of said surface strands during subsequent handling of the package, said wrapper also covering the ends of said body in such a manner as to exclude and protect the said body from the action of any foreign matter, and an outer wrapper of corrugated cardboard secured around the cake thus wrapped.

PAUL BRAUER.
